I have some experience dealing with foreign owned business like liquor stores and gas stations and their properties

A few observations

1) They only hire their kin and people in their caste. Their loyalty lies with their caste and ethnicity

2) They split all their businesses with each other and go out and gobble up a bunch of liquor stores or gas stations, etc on the cheap

3) They do not care one iota about upkeep or making their establishment look pleasing to the community is of absolute zero interest to them. They could care less about the community, it’s all about squeezing out as much profit as possible

4) They are able to somehow completely take advantage of the visa system and bring in a bunch additional foreign help instead of hiring local workers

Some indians bought up a liquor store and a laundry may in a small strip mall type setup close to me, and they reimaged the exterior 100%. The insides are immaculate.

There was a really large chain store that closed between them, and I'm pretty sure they bought that at auction as well. Hopefully, they do the same beautification of the structure to coexist with what's already been done.

I will say that I've only seen Indians working at both.

Everything you stated is true, but I'm adding that the indians are now bringing over remote family members to work the stores, and they treat them like slaves.

Republicans love them some guats to staff the mills and product yards in the rural areas, and don't really care that these people have little to no morals and only stopped eating each other a generation ago.

A lot of blame to go around.

Well if they're actually hiring only on race that's illegal but how is it wrong to have a family owned and operated business now?

So they're looking for good investments?

Running a good business focused on profit? Since when was a businesses job about community? Businesses are there to make money and that's it unless they have other goals stated in their mission statements....

They play the game based on rules they were given? Just like Donald and his lack of taxation...what's wrong with them following rules and being good at it?

You have to realize these are low margin businesses and hiring their relatives makes sense bc they know these folks. I know a Palestinian owned gas station that died this but they still employ a black man bc he does good work.

I know a Kurdish owned store that employed older black men to install a grill set up once they expanded to having a restaurant.

Even the ones with the fruitloop mission statements are still only about making money.

Huh. I dont know one damn store owned by a dot Indian or any of that crap. If I did know of one, I would purposely never go there.

They support their own culture with their money and business;well, I do the same fricking thing.

Sounds like a great American capitalist to me. If you don’t take advantage of every opportunity you have, the competition will.

Don’t shop at Indian owned companies.

There’s plenty of alternatives.

My only issue that stout regularly points out is the tax incentives and programs to help immigrants start businesses that aren't available to citizens

I don't have a problem with people coming here but the playing field should be even

All I know is that if you check into a Motel 6 or Super 8 the chance of a Patel running it is 80%.

Good luck finding one owned by an American born.

Just take a look at where they're coming from and that tells you all you need to know.

Agree. They call us “stupid Americans.”

The closest gas station to me is owned by the same family for the last 50 years. Good people. I know the whole family by name, the old man and his wife, the son and the teenage granddaughter still work the cash register every single day.

I would never, ever choose a camel jockey gas station over that place.

Correct they have to be lazer focused on profit to meet their mission goals... Businesses are about making money and that's it

Chain migration needs to end. I was on vacation on a group tour . A chinese guy was saying how easy it was for him to get citizenship. One person in his family cane years before he did.

The white brits- a doctor, engineer, and teacher didn’t speak up but I could tell they were slightly jealous.

Time to select for immigrants who are WINNERS with strong western values.

This is very true. They almost always employ other Indians, and almost never anyone else.
